FALL IS THE BEST SEASON OF ALL.

I saw this card idea last year on the internet (sorry, I don't recall where)  I started out with a Taylored Expressions Slimline Mini envelope in the color Candy Corn.  I really like the size of the mini slimline, rather than the full size slimline that fits into a #10 envelope, less space to fill.  So I made the card size based on it fitting into the envelope.  I cut a piece of white card stock 7" x 6" and scored on the 7" side at 3½".  I didn't have a good speech bubble die but I repurposed a QuicKutz die and made it work.  I stamped the dots (Essentials by Ellen Abstract Paint Strokes) and the sentiment (MFT Autumn Blessings) with VersaMark ink and added white embossing powder.  The coffee to go cup is from Amuse Studio Need to Venti stamp set and the pumpkin is from Avery Elle Fall Foliage.  The girl is Ellen Hutson Voices in my Head.

Coffee Time!

Check this post on the Amuse Studio blog.  This was a fun card to create using the new Amuse Studio You Are My Sunshine stamp set and the Need To Venti die set was a perfect combination.  I started out by creating a watercolor wash background using Margarita Splash ink on watercolor paper. I put a couple of dots of Splash on an acrylic block and then used a water brush to scribble the background.  I flicked a few dots of Habanero Splash over top of the Margarita. I used the Amuse Studio Tag Die Bundle to cut out the stitched rectangle.  I die cut the little to go coffee cups from the Need to Venti die set and decorated the bands with flowers from the Time To Party stamp set.

Tag You're It

The NEW Tag You're It set is perfect for gift tags or holiday cards.  The animals are ageless and genderless so you can't go wrong.  The Tag You're It set has the main images of the 4 animals - a deer, bear, fox and rabbit.  The supporting images and sentiments are all designed to work together so you're going to get a lot of mileage from this one set.

Be Light

Today I wanted to share an up close look at the NEW Amuse Studio Be Light stamp set which is part of the September Collection.  This stamp set includes 14 stamps total with 5 main images, 4 accessories and 5 sentiments.  There is a lot to work with and there is also a matching die set available.  

The Santa image is so cute.  His extended left arm allows you to create lots of fun scenes   The set includes a balloon, gift, star, snowflake, tree and a pile of presents that you can stamp into his hands.  You can also get creative and add images from your other stamp sets like Need to Venti because Santa surely needs a little caffeine to get him through the holidays!    

Santa floating up with his sparkly balloon!  Do you love that swirl background?  That is from our NEW Digital Kit called North Pole.  

Coffee Love

The New Amuse Studio Mocha Me Happy stamp set is awesome for Valentine's Day but coffee is always a popular theme.  Here's a very girly Congrats card but it could easily be reworked for a guy!  Check out the card below for a more masculine look.
